Egon Schiele, Crouching woman with green headscarf, 1914 Brief note: to self. Time to take myself in hand. I have been staggering about lugubrious, black, bleak, sick. Now to build into myself, to give myself backbone, however much I fail. Breve appunto: a me stessa. E’ ora di darmi una controllata. Ho vagato in giro …
